I guess at it by running a explorer and visually comparing the count of accepted and rejected securities .

Hi Petros Your concept has been covered in a past issue of MSTT (MetaStock Tips and Tools). In fairness to the many subscribers who paid good money for their copy of that newsletter I cannot give you a free copy. However, if you email me I'm sure that we can agree on a modest price for the relevant issue, and any assistance you need from that point on to see the project through to a successful conclusion. The concept is implemented by using global variables (stored in Mark Pyle's GlobalVar DLL) in an exploration to count historical events, and then saving the results to a custom data file. From then on a different exploration is run to count each days results so that the historical data file can be manually updated. Creating a useful historical file can take a while (anywhwere from a few minutes to a couple of hours), and regular updating should take less than 5 minutes a day. Roy rlarsen@quik.co.nz
